They will then carry out a Site Inspection and also verify if permissions have
been granted.
If the activity is illegal a “Stop Work Order” should be issued forthwith and
the Police Authorities will be informed to enforce the Order and initiate
routine patrolling to avoid restart of illegal work. Inspite of the order, if
work is restarted Police may seize plant & machinery and seal the premises
pending completion of inquiry.
